Used to, and it drove me crazy trying to keep a black car clean. Every time I washed it I noticed a new dent or scratch from some lazy dependent fuckface not giving a shit about other people's property.

But then I discovered that I could have a second car and that I could leave my fun one(s) in the free parking garage

For most drivers it's the "off, that was close" drive by signal

This light means CARS have to stop, this shit doesn't apply to bicycles. If you hit me I'm suing I don't give a fuck.

If you want to pretend to be a car and ride in the middle of the road, abide by the rules of the fucking law

You know how many times I have almost been hit by a dumbass cyclists crossing the zebra? And then THEY get angry when I tell them to suck a dick

You have a good mind for what you want and desire. I'd check out the first one op. Welcome to manual bro. Just so you know truck manuals are a bit different than car manuals. Almost identical but different. You will see.

>>15909542
same. my first thought was the first post as well, because mister military man seems to have quite the technological know how. The other two are very sparse on info, could be diamonds or turds, more likely to be turds, knowing the 240's reputation as a duriftu missile.
/not OP

>>15909542
>>15909548
appreciate the support guys. would it be worth asking some questions to the other two? mileage, additions to the car, how many previous owners maybe? i do agree the first one seems like the safest bet so far though. definitely going to message that guy

>>15909475
mint ludes are hard to find. you might get him to 6k. but definitely not 5 unless you suck his dick.

>>15909572
Well shit.

Also I forgot to mention, they've had it in stock for quite a long time. I first saw it a month and a little ago but the history report shows it first was sold to a dealer back in January. So hopefully he's tired of it sitting or something, though I dunno if it's shifted dealers and stuff.

U better lude that ass up, boy

What do you expect, it's the American lifestyle to live way beyond your means. Nobody has any business driving a car worth more than $40,000. I am constantly appalled by how many people drive high value cars when the average American income is like $35K. I have since learned that literally all Americans are retards and have no financial sense or financial discipline. Borrowing money to spend on a car is the dumbest thing ever but like 90% of Amerkunts are doing it. How the fuck is this country not nuked into the ground already.

Only ever paid cash for cars, never bought a used car, was raised with 5% rule that I could never spend more than 5% of what I made/earned/saved that year.

Multimillionaire driving Toyota Camry/entry level Lexus for life brah. Masochistic self control for the win, no fun allowed in life ever.

Buy my new book "Tiger Cunt"

>>15909631
So how's that pos 20 year old civic? Cause if you never spend more than 5%, even if you're making 100k a year, you're still driving some shit heap.

Granted, a lot of people live beyond their means, but I fight they would rather have a nicer car than something else, let em.

Objective: better gas mileage, manual transmissions are far simpler and easy to work on, keeps you more awake and focused on driving. Subjective: feels better, makes you look cooler, helps you appreciate and understand the car more intimately.

>>15909026
Two higher mpg highway is nill for me.
Don't care about "higher focus" and looking cool.
Most of that list is taking the piss.

>>15909003
I live in NYC, I drive a manual. No one taught me, learnt from YouTube vids. I take the belt everyday so stop and go traffic is my life. Traffic is no excuse not to get a manual. I'd take the Corolla or the civic. They ain't fast but you'll save on gas and on repair bills.
Although I do drive a manual, I am looking for a second car that will be automatic, but not because shifting gears is hard mainly because no one in my family can drive stick

>>15908823
You take it out put more in.

>>15908823

horrifically ugly.
not being sarcastic, it legitimately is.
the headlights are disgusting, and the entire front end looks like it was a sesto elemento that was put into vendor and squished from the front and sides.
gross.

F

My dad drove his for over 200k mile till he got into an accident. For some reason the service people couldn't align it properly nor figure out what caused the car to shake so much when going past 40 mph.

He replaced it with a 2007 model and the same problems exist...

>>15908688
I had one. Only issue was a trans solenoid at like 150k, but I advised the fuck out of that transmission so idk. Awesome car, 9/10 would own another in a heartbeat.

>>15908671
That design looks fucking retarded as fuck.

Like wtf man.

Under 2500lbs and it's completely unnecessary

>>15908681
Exactly.
Depends on vehicle.
Try a manual rack in a 4,800 pound truck on 35's...
